Does this apply to Zip drives too ? From memory (I don't have my 2 Zip drives connected to a FreeBSD system at the moment), the Zip drive doesn't allow ejecting while a filesystem is mounted! However, I don't think it "remembers" that the eject button was pushed so it should 'automatically' eject when the umount is complete. Tony
